Man Convicted of Attempted Murder in Restaurant | Orlando News
Description
In a chilling courtroom drama from Toledo, Ohio, Matthew Exton was convicted of attempting to murder his ex-wife in a restaurant — pulling the trigger of a loaded gun just as a brave waiter tackled him. The prosecution painted a terrifying picture: Exton, fueled by rage and referencing Johnny Cash’s revenge lyrics in a voicemail, came to publicly execute his ex-wife — even gesturing with a gun at prosecutors before being removed. He also faced charges for assaulting her parents. Now awaiting sentencing in September 2026, Exton — once a lawyer himself — faces justice for his violent act.
